do you love him or do you just love him for what he does the same way ppl do cory kenshin, like if him and cory did something absolutely horrible and unforgivable would you still love them?
Magic Square light of freedom!! And my personal favorite MP scaled OP! And yes, the grill on his tummy IS the grill of the truck!! Great figure, G-1, but not beholden to the "cartoon aesthetic." It has some cool details all over and he's just awesome! 😂😂
We have two options with Magic Square with Light of Freedom for just a figure, and Light of Peace. As for Legends Scale, we have the mini Light of Peace, and the NewAge David (Though the tradeoff is the fact that the chest is fake, but not in the Magic Square or MP-44 way, it's the whole chest swapping to have one that looks very truck-like to one very cartoony) As for official figures... One of the upcoming Optimus Primes, namely the Devastation Optimus Prime, is coming soon, albeit the trade-off for the figure is that he's Deluxe scale, which meant that to pull off the engineering feat, A LOT of the figure is compromised to the point it should have been a Voyager instead
aside from sizing and shape issues (which is the issue most primes that use fake grills face), putting hinges and folding bits on chromed pieces also increases risk of scratching the chrome, so 3P companies try not to do that.
You know I love your channel when I was a little kid I was a little embarrassed to watch it or thought I was too old for it anymore but yk what I’m 16 and I can definitely say I’m an absolute fan love your channel kinda crazy to think your videos have been in my life for pretty much the entirety of it
Never be embarrassed my man!! I'm 46, grew up with Transformers, and I am proud to be a fan! Wear it like a badge of honor! 😂 You're NEVER too old to have fun! Period! Keep that inner child alive! You'll enjoy life more, trust me kiddo!!
I think this is the earliest I've been to a review. This figure's really good, I'm glad to see it get reviewed here. I cackled like mad at the skit at the end, it was beautiful. best way to upset Optimus, bruise his ego.
XTB will continue to be my Magnus. He's supposed to be a big bulk bot,, but not overly clunky like the MP version.The FT version is too slim for me! Great review as usual though!
Is that the "Commander Stack," Magnus? That one looks like the definitive Magnus, in my opinion. Both modes look amazing, and his articulation is amazing!
Can you imagine a kid playing with this figure trying to play transformers and by the time he got it transformed into robot mode it would be bedtime 😂😂😂😂
FT is probably more aesthetically pleasing overall, but the XTB is arguably closer to the animation model. Both are better than MP-22. Don't think you can go wrong with either, depending on your preferences.
hell yeah, probably the only time ive ever seen a review from less than a day ago. this is a beautiful figure, and while the tf is tedious, i am a sucker for the walking puzzle box so this is good in my eyes!
I like the idea of the "super mode" style of Ultra Magnus' inner 'Bot having a vestigial Guyver organ made from what's usually part of his armor. It's a great way to maintain his identity between forms since his base form is almost entirely hidden by his armor. His little turtle shell and the dots on his hip skirts in place of the usual triangley bits does more than you'd think minor details would to make him feel more like his own thing instead of being just another cash-grabby repaint. I don't usually go for 3Ps or MPs, but this guy's earned a spot on my wishlist.
I am glad that there are options, for those that prefer the cartoon version of Magnus there is Commander Stack and MP-22 and for those that prefer their Magnus to be Battle Armor there is this one
Dude, every time you show another one of Ultra Magnus's faces how it goes "ding!" is too funny! And I'm pretty sure "constipated Magnus" is actually his growling face, and his "explosive diarrhea Magnus" face is actually when he's blasted apart by the Sweeps.
Agreed on the robot mode, seriously nice. Best bit is he's got core robot in there, i love that. And yes, that core bot needs a Prime deco as its also nice.
I'm a Ghost Prime in Armour kind of guy. Yes, I know that it was not animated, but it is a principal of the original toy. In this design, I love the grill over grill in vehicle mode, it's ingenius, giving a distinction between the robot and truck mode. Also, the split head is just fantastically creepy, it would make some fantastic Halloween-inspired videos. I would love to see them reformat this into a Legend-scale figure, and maybe drop out some of the complexities in transformation, because I know that I would not be able to afford it at this scale.
Albino Prime is good. I used to refer to it as Cicada Prime or Mothimus Prime. Something about the red eyes and the mask make me think of those kind of insects.
Both robots look great and I get what they're doing with the battle armor motif; however, I always liked the official MP, butt flap and all. It was one of the first MP's I bought when I started collecting again and I personally never felt the need to replace it.
Complexity aside This is by far the best Masterpiece Scale Ultra Magnus AND Optimus Prime I've ever seen. The same scale as Mp-44 but has NO Backpack. And If I recall the price is better then Mp-44 from what I've seen. (Follow up, using this for Prime Might be more challenging do to the legs)
5:42 Johnny come lately. But you and TMR do the best transformations. You... most so. 2nd vs same as the 1st.😂 it's sweet. Awesome review. Just staying it's not in my G1 wheelhouse (unless I win mega millions 😂😂). 4:12
I for One would love to see your Entire Transformers Collection ! I mean you’ve been at this for some time and You’ve Done Hundreds of Videos over the last Few Years so please do a video of Your Personal Collection and How Many you have ?.
re: 18:43. FM-01 Hero (FT Optimus Prime) was announced at the same time that FM-02 Margh was. At least per the pictures from March it looks like it's mostly identical, but they have done at least some remoulding - new codpiece, thighs, head (at least the mouth plate), and smoke stack shrouds (why?) for sure, but so far they've avoided showing it from the back in either mode.
It would be nice if they could figure out a way to do both a3 core white prime AND a perfect transformation.The only way I can figure it is if the trailer also anchored onto the back of the cab, but then there's still the question of the Prime legs, unless there were some crazy accordioning and twisting that would somehow retain poseability to get the trailer back to wrap around the legs...
My feedback .I love the xTransbots Magnus because i don't have any attachment to the white prime 'cause I watched cartoons , I even didn't know about its 80 armor gimmick . Fans toys made an amazing , an astonishing work , but is not my taste . Saludos Emgo , a la gente que usted quiere y a todos los amigos del canal!
Pluses looks great and I like that the trailer becomes like his armor. Negative and reason why I would not buy it overly engineered for what this is you could have gotten a really good look and simpler transformation
this is the cleanest and most compact transformation we have for a optimus and Magnus figure, absolutely no backpack, I would rather have this than having lots of kibble, plus the complexity justifies the price
His trailer is a little short and should be a little taller. And why don't they make a ultra Magnus trailer so cars can fit in the back going into the ramp. And you're supposed to fit two cars on the bottom and two cars on the top.
If I didn't already have the official MP as well as the G1 toy deco of Commander Stack, I'd be tempted to go in on this, but I'm perfectly fine with Magnus not being "Albino Optimus wearing a suit" so probably gonna pass on this, pretty as he is. The pearlescent paint FansToys always uses for the white parts on their figures is so nice looking. Their color choices for paint are always (chef's kiss). A shame their transformations are always over-engineered to the point where I never transform my FT figures for fear of scratching that beautiful paint.
Actually, I just counted, I have 7 Ultra Magnuses (Magnii?): MP, Commander Stack (G1 toy deco), Kingdom, Earthrise, Combiner Wars, SS86 and the G1 toy. I think my Ultra Magnus needs are being met.
I thought I was pronounced Marge, like large Marge from Pee-wee's big adventure. Thank you for the review. If I had the money I would probably pick this up, but I have never been a big fan of the white prime in armor version of Magnus. I was disappointed as a kid with g1 Magnus when I found out that was how he transformed. Still, this cuts a fine looking figure.
The question is, can he deal with it _right now_ ? As I recall, MP-22 Ultra Magnus has no White Prime inside, correct? I feel like someone at Fans Toys was like, "no, it's not true Masterpiece Magnus unless it's a White Prime wearing armor!"
This transformation is like watching a snake shed its skin, then reattach it to make a mega-snake. Note: I understand “why” it part-forms, I had the original G1 figure.
Absolutely unmatched in its robot mode appearance, by a considerable margin IMO. Though I think xtransbots beats it in vehicle mode I think they could do a lot of simplifying of the white prime if they were to release it as a stand-alone optimus. Though an optimus thats compatible with magnus armor could be fun its its own right too, especially since there's a million MP-style primes out there.
23:06 leave the matrix out. He's just a soldier, he's not worthy
Put the matrix on a chain.
@@citizen_grub4171Galvatron: That’s my thing to do.
We love Emgo
Damn right we do!!
Who doesnt
I wanna be like him 🙃
When I get old, my love for transformers will remain strong
do you love him or do you just love him for what he does the same way ppl do cory kenshin, like if him and cory did something absolutely horrible and unforgivable would you still love them?
I feel like I need a smoke after all that transformation, and I'm not even a smoker.
FR I'm just over 31 minutes into the vid, on my second attempt to finish watching and I'm ready for a break again 😅
I was like "oh neat finally a prime that doesn't have a fake grill". Well damn
Magic Square light of freedom!! And my personal favorite MP scaled OP! And yes, the grill on his tummy IS the grill of the truck!! Great figure, G-1, but not beholden to the "cartoon aesthetic." It has some cool details all over and he's just awesome! 😂😂

I'm not infuriated by the fake grill, just perplexed by why they would bother when the existing one is right there.
I'm no toy engineer, but I think they did it that way for structural integrity, reducing stress on what would be a thinner piece of plastic.
aside from sizing and shape issues (which is the issue most primes that use fake grills face), putting hinges and folding bits on chromed pieces also increases risk of scratching the chrome, so 3P companies try not to do that.
it's so funny, they come back, tease an Optimus and release their Magnus before their Optimus
The engineering from this figure is amazing impressive and a bit scary.

“Be Geek, Be Proud”
Xtrans Magnus has a better truck mode especially in the trailer
Yeah
I like the robot mode on this version and transmits has a better truck mode
@@SirTaxFraudALot oh i agree.
Official one is even better
ok long time listener, first time caller… good lord. i’m exhausted just watching that transformation.

@shawndashno6022 Yes, Commander Stack is the definitive version to me.
A nearly 50-minute review of a pretty amazing piece beats going to the movies any day of the week. Get your popcorn ready indeed.
Can you imagine a kid playing with this figure trying to play transformers and by the time he got it transformed into robot mode it would be bedtime 😂😂😂😂
Ima take a nap after watching this transformation. That aside I'm stoked for DX9's sideswipe 😅
Tell 'em Large MARGH sent ya!
Exactly from Pee Wee's Big Adventure, that many do not get this reference.
FT is probably more aesthetically pleasing overall, but the XTB is arguably closer to the animation model. Both are better than MP-22. Don't think you can go wrong with either, depending on your preferences.

Kudos to Fanstoys for an amazing engineering. 😊😊
I absolutely love this,this may be the best Ultra Magnas toy yet,Happy New Year ❤☺️👍👏

X Transbots Magnus looks great in truck mode and Fans Toys Magnus looks awesome in Robot Mode
Dude, every time you show another one of Ultra Magnus's faces how it goes "ding!" is too funny! And I'm pretty sure "constipated Magnus" is actually his growling face, and his "explosive diarrhea Magnus" face is actually when he's blasted apart by the Sweeps.
Oh cool I did not know pre-orders were in from BBTS. I'm looking forward to getting mine.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Agreed on the robot mode, seriously nice. Best bit is he's got core robot in there, i love that.
And yes, that core bot needs a Prime deco as its also nice.
They are doing a Prime! They showed him and Magnus off at at TF Con LA. It looks really good imo!
100% agree with the "all-in-one" statement. Albino Prime is neat and all, but it isn't MAGNUS!
An excellent review that saved me yet more money.........priceless!!
I'm a Ghost Prime in Armour kind of guy. Yes, I know that it was not animated, but it is a principal of the original toy. In this design, I love the grill over grill in vehicle mode, it's ingenius, giving a distinction between the robot and truck mode. Also, the split head is just fantastically creepy, it would make some fantastic Halloween-inspired videos.
I would love to see them reformat this into a Legend-scale figure, and maybe drop out some of the complexities in transformation, because I know that I would not be able to afford it at this scale.
New Age Magnus does the same thing at legends scale
That little Matrix is nice looking. Probably one of the best I have seen
Saw the JTI pop up in my feed with this thing.. it's gonna be another one of those, isn't it?
Take care of your sanity and fingers Emgo
Thanks for another year of good content i hope you your wife and the furbabies have a good 2025.
Explosive diarrhea Magnus made me laugh too hard, I'm using that face when I get my magnus
Albino Prime is good. I used to refer to it as Cicada Prime or Mothimus Prime. Something about the red eyes and the mask make me think of those kind of insects.
Woo early to the fun! Been waiting for this one!
I so would've loved to see this guy next to the SS 86 Ultra Magnus
I love the look of this figure, but that price tag....dang! I have the THF MP version which I love.
I would be excited to see the eventual release of FansToys's Optimus Prime, also looks like a very cool looking Ultra Magnus too
Both robots look great and I get what they're doing with the battle armor motif; however, I always liked the official MP, butt flap and all. It was one of the first MP's I bought when I started collecting again and I personally never felt the need to replace it.
Great review! They make the transformation look a lot more complex these days.
I agree that it is a LOT of work to convert, but it looks good in the three modes that it should have.
Happy New Year Emgo 🎉
When you posted a pic of this guy on twitter I thought it was just an mp magnus upgrade kit, holy this looks good
Been waiting for this review.
Knocked it out of the park. Amazing figure! ♥️♥️♥️
Honestly when I saw the promo shots of the full bot, and the truck mode, but nothing else I had assumed it was like Studio Series 86 Magnus.
Which MP/3rd party Ultra Magnus would you prefer?
Complexity aside
This is by far the best Masterpiece Scale Ultra Magnus AND Optimus Prime I've ever seen.
The same scale as Mp-44 but has NO Backpack.
And If I recall the price is better then Mp-44 from what I've seen.
(Follow up, using this for Prime Might be more challenging do to the legs)
A masterpiece Magnus that also has the White Prime figure. Pretty fucking awsome.
5:42 Johnny come lately. But you and TMR do the best transformations. You... most so. 2nd vs same as the 1st.😂 it's sweet. Awesome review. Just staying it's not in my G1 wheelhouse (unless I win mega millions 😂😂). 4:12
The best reviewer of all time
7:44 Cool fact: I saw that head of Ultra Magnus's on DeviantArt once. Optimus was looking at him with a confused look on his face.
it'd be neat if Fans Toys also released a Delta Magnus colorway version, though it'd probably end up as an exclusive of some kind
A Delta Magnus, and/or a G1 toy redeco (though I have G1 toy deco Commander Stack and he's beautiful).
I for One would love to see your Entire Transformers Collection ! I mean you’ve been at this for some time and You’ve Done Hundreds of Videos over the last Few Years so please do a video of Your Personal Collection and How Many you have ?.

Er Ma Gerd!! The panels!!! The panels!!!! There's "more panels than meets the eye!" 😂😂
Both robot modes look great, but honestly I think the XTB one looks better in truck mode. Sometimes simple is better.
Will you be selling the XTB one? Or will both have a place in your collection?
hey EMGO happy new year

Me and my brother just got done making popcorn and then I get this notification!😀
happy new year!!
been waiting for this one!!
Ultra "Madness" to transform, but is the best Ultra Magnus so far.
Would love to see you do the review on the MPG 09 God Ginrai with size comparisons
It fits the cartoon esthetic but keeps in the white prime from the toy that we love
Would you agree?
Get this FT version if you like the Albino-Prime-with-armor- Magnus,
Get the XTB version if you like the All-in-one-Magnus.
I'm gonna say it, XTransbots still smokes this out of the water, I never did understand this design...
His trailer is a little short and should be a little taller. And why don't they make a ultra Magnus trailer so cars can fit in the back going into the ramp. And you're supposed to fit two cars on the bottom and two cars on the top.

If Prime loves pizza bagels and Meg loves burritos. What does Magnus love?
Hot Pockets
This figure has me finally coming around to the idea that maybe skipping out on Albino Prime might not be the worst idea. Good grief.
That two faced head would be awesome if they did a Shattered Glass version
Ah yes my favorite transformer Captain Shoulders
I hope they do a non metallic version of the trailer because it feels like the bottom of the boots could become prone to paint chipping.
big applause for fans toys 👏
Is the transformation harder than the Xtransbots?
Hmmmm the robot mode is exquisite. The vehicle is definitely the weaker of the two
The best Magnus ever!!!! He is nice build !!!!!
Holy shit, never been this early before. Love your channel, been watching since i was like 12. (I'm 23 now)
The grille over the grille doesn't bother me. It's like the radiator or oil cooler behind the grill.
Bro became harvey dent 💀
I was curious how this would "STACK" alongside the XTB version
😂
I thought I was pronounced Marge, like large Marge from Pee-wee's big adventure.
Thank you for the review. If I had the money I would probably pick this up, but I have never been a big fan of the white prime in armor version of Magnus. I was disappointed as a kid with g1 Magnus when I found out that was how he transformed.

This is much better than the studio series ultra magnus
The figure modes look awesome....but the truck mode doesnt have the bulk and heft in the trailer. Certainly a shelf piece as a figure in robot mode.
This transformation is like watching a snake shed its skin, then reattach it to make a mega-snake.
Note: I understand “why” it part-forms, I had the original G1 figure.
I would make this Magnus as the robot mode on my shelf and the Takara Magnus as the truck mode on my shelf.
Absolutely unmatched in its robot mode appearance, by a considerable margin IMO. Though I think xtransbots beats it in vehicle mode
I think they could do a lot of simplifying of the white prime if they were to release it as a stand-alone optimus. Though an optimus thats compatible with magnus armor could be fun its its own right too, especially since there's a million MP-style primes out there.
It sucks that you basically have to take his clothes off to put him into truck mode, but the end result isn’t too bad.
Why is the gun blue?
Do you by any chance have a review coming for meta gates drift from tlk I’m afraid to transform it 🥲, love the vids 🫶🏻
This is good in and of itself, but Studio Series 86 Ultra Magnus is the definitive version; that is my opinion.
I need a toy style + version. Please FT..
I think xtb might have taken the win for altmode. Thanks, Emgo. This must have been a lot of work.
